Yep

Awesome. I liked playing GriD, but the only thing that I would make me play GriD over Forza were the drifting races. I love em - ever since NFS: U2 I've been hooked.

Sounds good......I don't mind the 2 disc part, no problem with that. I would like to see a couple of things implemented in Forza3:

1. The replay view - Not always great angles. I'd like a "TV" mode - as if you were watching the race on tv.

2. More in - depth tuning aids & options: I'd like to see a chart/graph of my practice (and hell, include it in the race during playback) to show where I have exceeded max loads for my setup; I'd also like to be able to replay my practice runs (instead of going over to the arcade-free run and run a couple of proctice laps to see my tire temps, shocks, etc.)

3. At least one or more real world series: I'd like to run in the Rolex Sports Cars Series (Cut the races down to 1-2 hours) or the American LeMan Series - multiple car classes on the track at the same time. How about an off-road segment (this is next gen, after all)

4. Create a race / Create a series: One of the things I loved about GT2/GT3 was the ability, after reacing a certain level, you could create your own race or series of races. Since Forza2 has different drivers, I would like to customize my cars, assign them to drivers, and race against them.

Sorry about turning the post into a "What I'd Like to see for Forza 3"

4. Create your own race:

I'd love to know how many cars will be on the grid per race. 8 cars on grid does not a racing simulator make.

Agreed -it would be nice to have at least 16 or more.

Drifting? Awesome

Two discs isn't a huge deal- I remember doing it with GT and I didn't even think twice about it.

Just improve the single player portion of this game and I'll be in nirvana. Good thing my school life will start slowing down big time in December- with this and the ton of other good games coming out in Fall/Winter, I'm gonna be glued to my TV.

I've just started playing Forza 2 again and I'm hooked. This news just told me what I'm asking for for Christmas. And 100+ tracks? Awesome. I'm bored of the same tracks on F2.

Exactly. It almost feels like I can run some tracks with my eyes closed...

Yeah but can you do it fast.... lol

Well my thoughts are that 1) I'm pumped and 2) I'm wondering if this game will have the necessary improvements to the actual racing that it needs. I think it is actually more realistic than Race Pro in a LOT of ways, but Race Pro has better feedback and you feel more connected to the track. Also, I don't think there's any way that they can include all these cars and still have an in-car view. Which I think is definitely superior to the current available views.
